The Ghana Police Service has launched an investigation into the interception of 88 individuals on board two Metro Mass Transit buses on Tuesday, December 3, 2024. The buses were stopped at Benchema near Asawinso, raising concerns about the purpose of the passengers’ journey.
Preliminary findings suggest that the individuals were recruited by a man identified only as “Sammy.” The recruitment reportedly occurred across various locations in the Greater Accra Region, including Adenta, Oyarifa, and Madina. The group was allegedly en route to provide security services at polling stations within certain constituencies in the Western North Region.
The intercepted passengers are currently assisting the police with their investigations. Authorities are intensifying efforts to locate and apprehend “Sammy,” who is believed to have organized the operation. The police have emphasized their commitment to ensuring a thorough inquiry and maintaining security in the region.
